Career Development To begin a job search:
Create/Update your resume
Create or update your resume . Resume writing tips,
templates and samples are also available in Hire a Flyer.
Upload resume into Hire a Flyer
Upload your resume into Hire a Flyer, update your profile
and job preferences, then view job listings and electronically
refer your resume to employers. Save your job search,
access it from Quick Links and designate the saved search
as a Job

Make an appointment with a Career Advisor
Career Advisors offer assistance to all students. If
you have questions about your resume or need help with
interviewing or job search strategy, please call 937.229.2045.
Network
Networking is very important in finding opportunities
that are not advertised. Distribute your resume to family,
friends, and anyone else who may be able to provide
leads for a good internship or position. Contact alumni
in the Alumni Career Network in Hire a Flyer.
Attend other Career Fairs and Events
Research and attend events in the geographical areas
you have considered locating after graduation. If the
company is hiring majors other than yours, talk to the
recruiter about additional opportunities. Research the
companies before attending, take plenty of resumes,
dress professionally and follow up with companies after
the Fair by sending a thank-you note to the recruiters.
Contact Other Career Services Offices
Most college and university career centers have agreed
to provide reciprocity of services. This means that
they are willing to provide certain services to students
from other universities. The services offered depend
on each university’s policy, and some charge a
fee. If you would like assistance in your area, contact
a local university’s career center and ask them
if they could help and what types of services they offer.
They may require an official letter of reciprocity;
if so, contact a UD Career Advisor.
